Stevens Creek Corridor

Email your elected representatives now so the Stevens Creek Corrior Bus Rapid Transit project is designed with key bicycle, pedestrian, and transit improvements. 

For more information and to get involved, contact Chris Lepe.

The Stevens Creek corridor Bus Rapid Transit project (523) will travel along the current bus line 23 route from east San Jose and downtown San Jose to DeAnza College in Cupertino along San Carlos Street and Stevens Creek Boulevard.

The 523 will bring rapid transit service to an area that is only served by local bus service yet carries one out of every ten bus riders in Santa Clara County. The Stevens Creek Rapid will serve important destinations such as Valley Fair and Cupertino Square malls, Santana Row, DeAnza College, and the City of Cupertino’s government offices.

Costs, timeline, & funding

The construction of the Stevens Creek Rapid (De Anza College to Downtown San Jose) is estimated to cost between $145 million to $232 million, depending on whether a single reversible lane or a viaduct is built near Valley Fair Mall. Additionally, the corridor will require 17 new BRT vehicles that will cost an estimated $18.7 million. BRT service along the corridor is expected to start in 2018 with the majority of the funding for the project expected to come from Santa Clara County’s Measure A sales tax and Prop 1B state funds.
